Gone and Mine

Chapter 1: Gone.

I Do Not Own Naruto or Panera Bread…But This Story Plot….Yes…

Enjoy…

Sakura started to shake with anticipation. 'Only 17 more minutes'

"And when attacking…" Yelled Kakashi as the classroom because restless. Sakura looked over her shoulder to see Naruto sleeping, but talking in his sleep. He seemed to have been shouting about finding the osteridge… 'Odd…' Sakura thought to herself. As he randomly blurted out questioning things, Kiba and Lee were in a heated competition…Who could throw the most paper balls into the trash can…Swoosh… Sakura shook her head. She then looked diagonally to her right. Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't let it show. She simply smiled back at the staring Uchiha and turned back to the front where Kakashi was scolding Naruto for sleeping and shouting "provocative remarks"…. 'What's provocative about finding an osteridge?' She thought to herself until she was distracted by the clock… 1:57p.m. 'Hurry up!!!!' Sakura shifted in her seat…Waiting…

Beep!

Everyone leaped from their seats and stampeded into the lifeless halls all yelling and chatting while shuffling toward the bus loop. Sakura momentarily waited for the door to clear and then proceeded to exit, but he was in the way…

"Excuse me." Sakura said politely with a smug look on her face. He smiled back.

"Oh oops…" He said as he dropped his coat on the floor behind him. He smiled and as he turned around and -very slowly- bent over to pick it up. Sakura's eyes locked on his manly curves and didn't blink for anything. He rose back up to face Sakura. She couldn't help but smile. "Sorry, I had to pick up my jacket." He said. He then continued to block the way, acting as if he had to yawn. His arms reached up into the sky and his naval played pick-a-boo with her…Sakura liked it… He sighed, quickly letting his arms fall.

"Can you move now, Sasuke?" She said.

"Hn…" He said.

Small silence…

"Sasuke!" Sakura said impatiently. She could heard the buses starting their engines.

"I'm wondering if I should move…" The Uchiha stood like a beautiful brick wall.

"Kakashi!" Sakura looked over her shoulder for reinforcements.

"It's after 2 o'clock, I don't have to pretend to care anymore." He said flatly from behind his book. Sasuke's infamous smile slid across his face. 'They must be in cahoots…' She thought to herself. She then noticed….The buses were leaving…Sakura sighed dramatically.

"Oh… Hey you missed your bus." Sasuke said, sounding as if he had nothing to do with it. Sakura rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Looks like you need a ride home." He said with his smile growing wider, reminding her of a happy king cobra. Sakura shuttered with either excitement or fear…Hard to tell…She thought for a minute….

"Well?." He asked.

"Hn…" She replied, mocking the Uchiha. He scoffed dramatically and walked off. "Why I've never!!!" He said in a womanly voice. Sakura busted into laughter and chased after him.

"Ok ok ok, yeah I need a ride. Gowsh" Sakura said as she slightly looked down like a kindergartener. Sasuke was happy, but had too much pride to show it. He slowed into a stride next Sakura and they walked down the hallway together. After turning on to the main corridor of the building, they finally reached the exit doors that led to the student parking lot. Sakura slowed down so she could follow Sasuke to his car, but he slowed down too. She continued to slow down, as did the Uchiha until they both stop in the middle of the parking lot.

"What are you doing?" Sakura said, eyebrow raised.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke said giving her the same expression.

She sighed. "I was trying to let you lead the way to your car." Sasuke stood tall with a small boost of confidence.

"I would have told you." He turned to walk away. "I want to walk next to me no matter what." Sakura's eye got wide. Her heart hiccupped and she continued to walk next to the Uchiha. Smiling.

----

It's been almost 5 years since that day and the couple were celebrating their anniversary that night. The condo was completely silent minus the running water from the bathroom. Sakura's silhouette danced on the walls as she swayed to "Westside Story Symphonic Dances" By The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra…It was her favorite classical tune. She let the music linger throughout the rooms, knowing Sasuke wasn't home. He didn't really like 'That classical crap' He always thought it 'is a depressing waste of instruments'…She laughed to herself. He somewhat right in a way…

"Hmm…Huh hmmm lah nah nuh naaah" She sung along, twirling toward the bathroom in her towel. She stripped and slid into the water while shutting off the water. Peace. Then she heard the door unlock. 'Nevermind.' She though to herself as she reached for the stereo's remote. "I'm in the bathroom, Sasuke-kun!" She yelled out.

Silence.

'Odd.' She said. She continued to sit in the tub, not questioning his strange action. Usually he'd reply. She started to close her eyes as Sasuke opened the door. With her eyes shut she smiled. "Hi Muffin." She said.

"I'm not Muffin." He said. It wasn't Sasuke. Before she could react, she was knocked unconscious.

----

Sasuke exited the elevator to see that the hall floor was wet. 'Stupid kids.' He thought as he strolled down the hall carelessly. Getting close to the door, he could see that the door was cracked open and that the water stains let to it. He quickly rushed in. Panic was starting to take control. He couldn't help but shake with confusion. Where was his Sakura? What happened? He looked around and saw that the house was completely organized, as usual. The only odd thing was the water on the floor, but he knew something was wrong. Completely wrong. His Blossom was utterly OCD and would rather suffer through Hannah Montana's singing than have water stains in the carpet. He followed the trail into the bathroom. He froze. Water was scattered everywhere, but what disturbed him the most was the black sheet of paper placed perfectly on the edge of the tub. He picked it up with completely lost. 'Gone and Mine.' Was embedded on the paper as Sasuke stopped thinking momentarily. He didn't know what to do. He placed the paper back in its original place. He slowly walked to his phone. He picked it up, with a light grip, and pressed 3 on speed dial.

"Hello?" Hinata answered. All she heard was mumbling and shallow breathing. She lightly quivered and looked at the CID. 'Uchiha, Sasuke' it read. "Sasuke?" She said, now stunned.

"…Sh…She's gone." Sasuke forced out of himself. It was the hardest thing he could ever possibly say or even think.

"Sasuke? What do mean? What's going on?!" Hinata yelled, completely baffled. The line then went dead. Sasuke had staggered back into the bathroom and knelt down in front of the tub. She looked around. "Hello?" Without hesitating, she hung up, rushed for her coat and bolted out of her house to her car. She dialed 911 and gave them Sasuke's address, directing them to check on the household with caution. She then started to text Naruto and the others and she shoved the key into the ignition…

----

Naruto, Lee, and Tenten were in the gym together. Tenten was attacking a post shaped like a person, Naruto was doing pull-ups, and Lee was doing aerobics to "The Nerve" By Mutemath. They were all zoning out completely wrapped up in what they were doing until all three of theirs phones started to vibrate. They each picked it up with questioning faces.

Sumthin is rong w/ Sasuke! EMERGC!! ~H!nata

They all looked up and saw the worry on each other's face. "I'll go get the car." Announced Tenten as she ran out of the building.

"What's going on? I don't get." Naruto said as he text Hinata back. Flipping his phone close, he grabbed Tenten's weapons and his own belongings and looked at Lee.

"I am just as lost as you are." Lee said shrugging his shoulders. He too gathered his things and joined Naruto as they exited the gym. Tenten pulled up and rolled down the window, holding the phone to her ear.

"What?!" She randomly shouted. "Are the cops there yet?" She shouted. Naruto and Lee cringed at the word 'cop'…They knew this was serious. They both hopped in as Tenten slammed on the gas, leaving the drive-thru with a loud screech…

----

Hinata had reached the enormous building, now surrounded by officers. She exhaled loudly and left the car and proceeded to walk directly into the building as if there were no police. She stepped over the waving yellow tape. Before she could take another step, Kurenai appeared in front of her. Not surprised, Hinata went around her toward the ambulance truck that held a familiar dark haired figure.

"No Hello?" Kurenai said sarcastically as she followed her. Hinata looked inside the truck lightly confused. She could see what looked like Sasuke sitting up with his head down. His hair and shirt was wet.

"Sasuke?" She called. No answer or movement. "Sasuke?" She called again with more bass in her voice. Nothing. She reached and touched his shoulder. Cold. He moved forward then backwards. He was unconscious. Hinata screamed. The man in the truck then turned toward her and started shouting random medical codes.

"He's gone black!!" He yelled as he lightly ushered Hinata out of the way. Two other men, appearing from thin air, hoped inside the van and started doing procedures. Hinata started to push past the men.

"Sasuke?! What happened?!" She asked, shaking him. His eyes barely fluttered open.

"Sakura…" He mumbled. "She's gone." His eyes closed. Hinata froze feeling numb. She didn't bother to answer her phone, which started to vibrate, alerting her that she had a new text message.

"Get her out of here!!" One paramedic yelled. "We need to get to the hospital NOW!!" shouted another paramedic as his hand stayed glued to Sasuke's lifeless neck. Hinata was yanked off the bus and sat on the ground. Kurenai walked up to her with a lost face. Hinata stared back at her.

"What happened?" Kurenai asked as she helped her off the floor. "I just got here and they told me to watch the border and to only let friends through." She explained. Hinata stayed silent for the moment.

"I think Sakura's been kidnapped." Hinata didn't believe what she just said. 'No, she can't be.' She thought. Kurenai's eyes widened as she became quiet. After they stood still for the moment, Kurenai walked off to find Tsunade. Hinata quietly followed with teary eyes.

----

Tenten was breaking a world record. Speeding and weaving through VERY congested streets without crashing, talking on the phone, and somehow avoiding every pedestrian?! She could easily shatter such a record. Naruto and Lee were strapped in and praying for their lives. Too scared to break Tenten's apparent concentration, Naruto didn't bother to ask who she was talking to, but Lee did.

"Who's on the phone?" Lee yelled. Tenten turned to face Lee. Stilling dangerously driving at 109 mph. Lee's face turned white.

"I'm talking to Ino. She said the cops are all around Sakura's place! She hasn't been told what exactly is going on and that Someone was rushed to the hospital. She said saw Hinata, but her and Kurenai walked away too quickly, she could barely even reach the barrier because of all the nosey media and people." Tenten said before turning back around. "She also said that she hasn't even seen Sakura." Tenten shouted over her shoulder. Naruto didn't like that. Someone hospitalized, Sakura missing?…'What's going on?' He thought to himself.

"Well, Ino I'll call you when we get there ok? There's a accident involving two 18 wheelers and I'm going to need both hands if I don't want to stop." Tenten said. She shut the phone and tossed it to Naruto whose eye widened as he realized what she had just said.

The car then was filled with screams of terror…

----

Ino's head bobbed up and down from jumping, trying to see over the crowd. Shikamaru stood next to her and saw over the crowd, due to his tallness. Ino sighed and looked at Shikamaru. "Lift me up on your shoulders!" She commanded. He looked at her.

"You're wearing a jean mini skirt." He said nonchalantly. Ino put her hands on her hips.

"Up. NOW." She shrieked. Shikamaru winced and knelt down.

"So troublesome." He grunted as he lifted her up. Before she could start looking at the main entrance of the condo, her phone started ringing. She wiggled and jerked to get the phone to slide out of her tight pocket.

"Ino!" Shikamaru groaned.

"Sorry. Hello?" She said. Tenten then proceeded to tell her about the odd text message without bothering to say 'Hi' back. Ino then gasped. "Yeah I'm here. There's a barrier up around the place. I'm on Shika's shoulders." Shikamaru grunted at the nickname. "I can see the entrance. I think I see Hinata. She just randomly crossed the barrier. Wait. Someone is trying to stop her, but I think it's Kurenai. Now they're going to a 911 truck. I can't see inside…Pause…Oh my gosh! Hinata is being yanked out of there. She's not even fighting." Ino yelled. "Let me down Shika." Shikamaru quickly put her down. When she felt the ground underneath her, she quickly started to jostle through the crowd. Barely anyone budged, but Ino continued to shove through. Shikamaru was right behind her as reinforcement. She came closer to the edge of the barrier, but Kurenai and Hinata started to walk away. "I missed them." She said into the phone. Ino silenced herself and listened to Tenten then hung up. "She's on her way." Ino said as she started to cross the boundary. Kakashi then appeared in front of them with a loud poof. His face, usually carefree, was frozen with seriousness.

"Follow Me." He said and turned around, leading them through the scene.

----

The car finally stopped. Tenten exited with Lee and Naruto staggering out. They were both shaking, thanking God that they were alive.

"Hurry up!" Tenten barked. They quickly pulled themselves together. Naruto looked around at the crowd of people gathered around the building. It was noisy, people chatting and gossiping. He heard sirens randomly go off, causing people to look around in excitement. The trio pushed through the crowd as Tenten called Ino. "We're here." She said. "Where are you two?" Tenten put one finger in the opposite ear to hear her. "Okay. Tell Kakashi to meet us at the border. Where near the corner with Panera Bread. Ok?…Alright, Bye." Tenten slammed the Katana closed and pushed through the crowd. The guys followed her and made it into the restricted area. Kakashi waved them over and they followed him to a large S.W.A.T. bus.

Inside was Tsunade, standing at the front. Along the right side of the seats sat Hinata, Anko, Jiraiya, Shino, Neji, Chouji, Iruka, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Kiba with Akamaru on his head, Kurenai, Ino, even Haku and Zabuza were there sitting in the seat closes to them. The left side seats held electronics, papers, and buzzing walkie talkies.

"What going on?" Naruto boomed. Everyone lightly jumped.

"Naruto, Take a seat." Tsunade command. Lee and Tenten did so, but Naruto continued to stand.

"No. Just spit it out, already!" He yelled back. Tsunade sighed and stared. Arguing with him would be pointless.

"Sakura is missing." She said. Everyone became extremely silent. Minus Naruto.

"What?!" Naruto said as he slowly looked down in disbelieve.

"Sasuke came home and found a note implying that she's been kidnapped." Tsunade pick up a slip of paper wrapped in plastic. "I have it here." Everyone quickly looked at it. "All it says is 'Gone and Mine.' Nothing else." She set the piece of paper back in it's place. "Hinata called the police and told them to check on Sasuke and they said they found him knocked unconscious, and his head was in the water of the tub. He almost drowned." Everyone listened completely shocked. "We're still not sure what exactly is going on, ourselves. That's why everyone is here. I need all of you to search for Sakura Haruno. Most know her personally so you may leave now if you'd like. Grab a WT, get into groups, and stay in contact with me and the others. If there's trouble, simply say 'I'm hungry' and ANBU will located you. Those who need more information, stay seated. Any questions?" She said looking at each of the lost faces.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Naruto boomed. He choked back tears of worry and gave everyone his famous grin. "Let's go find Sakura!" He yelled unnecessarily. Everyone lightly grinned with a shred of hope, knowing that Naruto's smile is contagious. Most rose and followed Naruto out of the bus with WTs in their hands.

"Okay." Tenten yelled for everyone to hear. "I think Gaara, Hinata, and Kiba should stay and protect Sasuke at the hospital." She said while looking at each of them. Gaara nodded and started to walk away, followed by Hinata and Kiba. "And Lee, Ino, Shino, and Shika. Search the upper half of the city. Afterwards, we should all go together to search through the forest."

"Alright." Ino agreed. Her face was dull with sadness. She ran and jumped to the nearest roof with the others behind her.

"That leaves Neji, Kankuro, Naruto, Me and Chouji to check the outskirts of the city while Temari, Haku, and Zabuza check the Downtown Konoha." Tenten instructed.

"We forgot to get WTs." Haku said as he reentered the bus. Zabuza followed him silently.

"Okay." Tenten said. She then turned to Naruto. "Where do we start?"

----

Sasuke's head was pounding. His eyes were burning from whatever bright light was directly in front of his eyes. He knew he was in the hospital. He tried to remember what happened…

After hanging up Sasuke weakly walked back to the bathroom and pick up the card. He stared at it. He couldn't help but cry. His one and only was gone. He started to think back to the first day he actually talked to her. When he gave her a ride home. The first kiss they shared. Sasuke's thoughts was interrupted by a noise. Someone was still there. Before Sasuke could turn around, he was hit in the back of the head.

Sasuke's eye lids were so heavy, but he slid them open. He heard two nurses lightly sigh and he started to look around. His brain was slowly regaining control over his body. He sat up using all his strength and looked out the window. He could see some people jumping across the roofs. He turned away and oddly felt calm. He didn't know why. He quickly looked and saw the door open. Two nurses and a doctor came in.

"Well- Mr. Uchiha?!" The doctor said stunned. "How are you away? The blunt-force trauma should have knocked you out for at least two more hours." He scratched his head and shrugged. "Well, Sasuke, I'm Dr. Scott. This is Nurse Ona and Nurse Ruka." He said pointing to himself, then to a blonde and brunette. The nurses smiled and waved. Sasuke simply stared a them.

"When can I leave?" He said bluntly.

"About that." Dr. Scott started, but was interrupted by Hinata, Gaara, and Kiba entering the room.

"Sasuke!" Hinata said, completely ignoring the others in the room. Gaara dragged a chair to the nearest corner and sat. Facing the wall. Kiba looked at the back of Gaara's head in question. Akamaru whined quietly and he reached up and rubbed his head to coax him.

"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke said. Hinata broke eye contact.

"We're not exactly sure." She said calmly. "But I'm s-sure she's fine." She quickly added. Sasuke looked at her momentarily. He then looked at Dr. Scott.

"Unhook me Doctor." Sasuke said as he started to slide the needles out his arm. Nurse Ruka rushed over and stopped him. "Move." He said with a scary edge.

"Sasuke, you can't leave just yet." Dr. Scott said as he walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You need to get checked out before you leave."

"How long?" Sasuke lightly relaxed.

"Until tomorrow at least." Dr. Scott replied.

"Too long." Sasuke slid the nurses hands out off the way and started to unhook himself from the machines. Nurse Ruka continued to true and stop him, but he kept slapping her hands away. Nurse Ona quickly walked over to help. She failed, Sasuke was quick enough to swat both of their hands away.

"Mr. Uchiha." Dr. Scott said firmly. Sasuke rose from the bed, looking like a beautiful greek god. Sasuke then headed for the door. Dr. Scoot blocked the exit. Seeing him there made Sasuke think of that day with Sakura.

"Sasuke. Please, got back to the rest bed." He said. Sasuke shook his head and tried to brush past the doctor, but was pushed back. Sasuke lightly staggered back. He then looked at the doctors physical features. He was just as built as he was. Dr. Scott was slightly taller than Sasuke with blackish brown hair and blue eyes. Sasuke ignored it and tried to go through the door again, this time with more force. Dr. Scott held his ground and roughly pushed Sasuke back hard enough to make him fall against the bed. Now Sasuke was angry.

"Move it, Doc!" Sasuke roared. He ran toward Dr. Scott and they clashed, causing the doctor to fall back on the ground. He didn't expect Sasuke to possess so much strength.

"Sasuke!" Hinata shouted as she gripped his arm. Sasuke turned and faced her with fury in his eyes. "What would Sakura want?" She asked.

Silence…
